David Ayer’s Suicide Squad to be inspired by The New 52 version?

Warner Bros. is working on a Suicide Squad movie starring Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Will Smith as Deadshot and Jared Leto as the Joker. Director David Ayer has posted on his Twitter a picture of production notes that reveal the production title, “Bravo 14,” and the The New 52’s Suicide Squad Volume 1: “Kicked in the Teeth.”

It would seem like Ayer is using the New 52’s Suicide Squad as inspiration for the live-action film. In the comic, Harley Quinn gets in a relationship with Deadshot. Since Robbie and Smith have already been in a relationship in the movie Focus, it’s not that much of a stretch to see the two again in the upcoming film.
